Hello all,

I am combining some gift cash plus the proceeds from the sale of a radio
and have enough to finally order my very own KX1 CW QRP transceiver kit.

For the moment, the base radio is the only thing I can purchase.  I
eventually will add the 3080, antenna tuner and the nifty key.

I recall some folks with the K2 suggest procuring the desired options
ahead of time to avoid reworking portions of the circuitry during a
later retrofit.

Does the KX1's design lend itself to add the 3080 and tuner options
later with little rework?

Anyone have any other advice to give before I plunge into building the
base KX1 rig?

I already know about pre-wound toroids, but enjoy doing those myself.

Thanks.

John
